The ex of Celebrity Big Brother’s American star Tiffany Pollard has waded into the debate over her alleged sex tape.

Tiffany, 34, who acquired the nick-name New York during her time on US show Flavor of Love, has long-denied a short sex tape – which appears to show her in a hotel room with a mystery man – is actually her.

Now George Weisgerber, who lived with the outspoken reality TV star for a time, says he thinks the grainy footage, which came to light in 2008, does not show his former fiancée.

The real estate marketer and part-time actor told The Sun: ‘As far as I know it isn’t her. When that came out she was caught very off guard and she was saying that this was one of the downsides of celebrity, that people will try and defame you.

‘That was one of the things that bothered her about it – she likes being in the limelight, but when someone makes a fake tape and puts your name on it… regardless of being a reality star, your reputation is important.’
